in reply to Perl TK window transparency / opacity

It is in fact not impossible on Perl/Tk. But it is by no means trivial. I recall on one of the Tk lists some time back that there was a report of how it ccould be achieved, but I dont seem to have it archived here. You need to be able to play with the Win32::API at the same time and finding the hooks manage the windows is not easy.

If this is something you need to do routinely then look at something like Tcl::Tk, it may be possible in WxPerl as well, it would be worth investigating. Try http://wxperl.org for more information.
